The thrill of discovering a new franchise is supremely satisfying. If Brandon was a bit rough on the edges with the first one he tightens the plot with this one. Thus have rated it one better than the first book. Its a real task to be able to establish so many characters with depth in such a short space but he does it with aplomb. Just when you feel you are reaching the end of the road, the floor drops away to leave the story open like a chasm.

I just wish he would not be so repetitive with the text being quoted from past records!

Highly recommended read back to back series
